Banana & Cinnamon Bread

I was 10 years old when I first tried a banana cake: it was instant love ♥

In Italy, where I grew up, banana cakes were not common and not exactly the typical mediterranean dessert. Yet, there is something so comforting in its taste, I knew I was hooked! So I decided to come up with a healthier version than the standard one. I used some of my favourite ingredients like cinnamon, coconut and tigernut, making this soft bread naturally free from gluten, dairy, grains and, as you’ll often find in my recipes, sweetened only with a handful of dates.

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut oil

1 vanilla pod

1 egg OR 3 tbs of lightly whipped aquafaba (the slightly thick and slimy water at the bottom of a can of chickpeas is actually a great egg substitute!) if you opt for a vegan version
